A couple of injury notes to pass along from the Raiders and Texans matchup in Oakland.

Zach Thomas was expected to add a veteran presence to a relatively young Chiefs defense, but the linebacker was released by the team today.

Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard landed a hit for history, that forever changed the 2008 season.
But anyone who listens to Pollard for any length of time, as this reporter did Saturday night for 20 minutes, knows there is no way he intentionally hurt Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
